When the United States is mentioned , the first information searched in my mind is the “Statue of Liberty“. It is natural and unquestionable to take a look at the “Statue of Liberty” when visiting the United States . This time, when I look at “The Statue of Liberty“, I don’t just look at one or two eyes, but from far to near, from left to right, and to look around in circles, I can see clearly, really! Such a multi-angle appreciation The Statue of Liberty is actually seen from a boat. Seeing the Statue of Liberty by boat is a popular New York tour that attracts many tourists from all over the world every day. The boarding location is in Lower Manhattan , New York , but I don’t know what pier we are on the cruise ship. When you get on the boat and it is full of people, you don’t know where to stand is the best position.
So you squeezed around in the crowd, until the boat started, and it was safe, because at this time, the skyscrapers on the shore were attracting you. Sitting on the boat, you can see the scenery of lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York .
The boat was moving quite slowly and very smoothly. After a while, I saw the Statue of Liberty in the distance, so the tourists who had just stabilized began to stir again. Tourists flocked to the side where they could see the Statue of Liberty. The boat seemed to tilt a little, but no one cared about what might happen.
Dangerous, all attention is on the Statue of Liberty ahead. Just listen to the camera clicks and the sighs in the crowd. The boat, slowly approaching the statue of the goddess, wearing ancient Greek -style clothing, wearing a radiant crown, holding a torch symbolizing freedom in the right hand, and holding a legal book in the left hand, the “Statue of Liberty” is very clearly seen. I didn’t expect that the boat would circle around the goddess for more than half a circle, so you can clearly see the goddess on the left or right of the boat. The boat is always moving slowly, so we have enough time to watch and take pictures.
The boat left the Statue of Liberty and continued on its way back. At this point, our emotions became more peaceful , and the slow travel of the sightseeing cruise gave us plenty of time to appreciate the variety of skyscrapers, urban landscapes and waterways in lower Manhattan .
The “Statue of Liberty” is on Liberty Island in the United States . Many people go to the island to watch her. The outside of the statue is empty and the inside is empty. There is an exhibition hall for tourists to visit in the base. A large number of historical materials, pictures and real objects are used to introduce the statue to tourists in detail. history and current situation. The hollow statue of the goddess is divided into 22 floors. There is an elevator to reach the 10th floor. Above it is a 170-level spiral staircase that rises almost vertically. Interested tourists can climb to the top window of the goddess’ crown. I think young people should give it a try, it’s interesting to free climb “inside” the Statue of Liberty.
I was content to take a sightseeing cruise to see the Statue of Liberty. Everyone knows many stories about the Statue of Liberty. I want to tell a story that I didn’t know before, but I only learned about it after doing my homework before I left: Back then, before the “Statue of Liberty” arrived in the United States , it encountered “an home”. “Difficulties. The Statue of Liberty needed a pedestal with a budget of $100,000. At that time, the government did not have this funding. The editor-in-chief of the New York World, Jossof Pulitzer, knew about it. He wrote an article: “The Statue of Liberty” is a French It is a gift from the people to the American people, not from the French rich to the American rich, so today the American government and American rich cannot provide the money to transport the statue and make this pedestal. We American people are obliged to raise money to make this pedestal by ourselves. stand up. As a result, people all over the United States responded and raised $100,000 within four months.
This was the first crowdfunding project before the Internet. Seeing the majestic and resolute goddess, I can’t help but sigh that her base was hard-won! The main body of the “Statue of Liberty” was completed in France , and the base was made by the United Statesbuilt, so the people of the two countries have achieved a complete work of art. For more than a century, she has stood on Liberty Island in New York , USA , and has become a symbol of friendship between the American nation and the American and French people .
The goddess symbolically strives for democracy, and the lofty ideal of longing for freedom has become the common wish of people all over the world. Is this the end of writing? But I seem to want to add a paragraph. It can’t be said to be the finishing touch, but it’s definitely not superfluous! I remember that the tour guide pointed to the front left on the central axis of Washington and said: There is the Martin Luther King Memorial Park, and I immediately said “l have a dream”, yes, Martin Luther King’s famous speech “I have a dream” is included in the Chinese language textbook, I excerpt a few lines: Let the voice of freedom ring from the towering mountains and mountains of New Hampshire Let the voice of freedom ring from the high mountains of New York State ! Let the voice of freedom ring from every hillside! Years have passed, and “freedom” is still the favorite of people all over the world!
